Description

JOIN CHAMPLAIN AREA TRAILS IN A WORKING HIKE ON THE BOQUET MOUNTAIN TRAIL ON FRIDAY, JUNE 21ST AT 9 AM. Join Champlain Area Trails in working on this 5-mile trail in Essex, New York. The trail goes up to the saddle between North and South Boquet Mountains, traverses below the east side of the South Boquet Mountain through a biologically diverse oak-hickory-hornbeam forest, and then along an old logging road through mature forest to Cook Road, a seasonal road closed in winter. WHAT TO BRING: We will work with loppers, hand saws, and string trimmers, which Champlain Area Trails can provide. Feel free to bring your tools as well. Make sure to bring gloves, protective eye gear (if using a string trimmer), water, and some snacks! DIRECTIONS: We will meet at the south trailhead on Cook Road, about ¾ mi west of Leaning Road. REGISTRATION: Please register by 6:00 p.m. the day before the event by emailing tony@champlainareatrails.com, but it's also okay to meet us there Friday at noon.
